Accolades

Upcycle-It is my personal initiative to create awareness among people for sustainable lifestyle and Waste Management. After being the Curator of Sustainability museum called Suseum, I was more interested in waste management and I wanted to be a part of this Green revolution in making the change / difference. This interest of mine towards waste management made me the founder of “Upcycle-It”. Upcycle-It is all about turning household waste materials into new – as we say ” For the amount of waste you throw, we provide you a solution”.

Upcycle-It is slowly getting recognized by the media and I am looking forward to continue the effort and make a difference in more people. To know more about Upcycle-It www.upcycleit.in | www.facebook.com/dot.cycle
